When you think of going on safari, combining a once-in-a-lifetime experience with having a positive impact on both the ecosystem and local communities should go hand in hand. Creating your perfect trip with Ahnasa Luxury Travel experts can turn this into a reality.

Ahnasa Luxury Travel, with over a decade of expertise, crafts bespoke safaris that blend luxury with sustainability, offering exclusive experiences like El Karama Lodge – an intimate, eco-friendly retreat in Kenya’s Laikipia region where conservation, community, and adventure weave together as seamlessly as the untamed landscapes and abundant wildlife that surround it.

Step Inside El Karama Lodge

Nestled within a 14,000-acre private conservancy, El Karama Lodge is more than just a safari destination – it’s a home in the wild, designed for those seeking an authentic, immersive connection with nature. Specialising in family and small-group safaris, the lodge offers a truly personal experience, where adventure and sustainability go hand in hand.

The lodge features two main living areas, an eco-pool, eight beautifully crafted cottages, and a dedicated learning space, all brought to life by the Grant family, who built and continue to run this extraordinary retreat. Their deep-rooted creativity is woven throughout every corner of the lodge—from striking sculptures in shared spaces to artwork that tells the story of Laikipia’s rich heritage.

Nilotica Private House: Exclusive Safari Luxury

For those seeking the ultimate in privacy and exclusivity, Nilotica Private House is El Karama’s luxury private retreat. Sleeping up to eight guests across two elegantly designed cottages, this exclusive-use sanctuary offers breathtaking river views, a private infinity pool, and dedicated staff, including a private chef and safari guide. Whether enjoying a sundowner on the veranda or setting out on a tailor-made adventure, Nilotica provides an unmatched level of comfort and seclusion in the heart of the wild.

Commitment to conservation and community

With a firm commitment to conservation, El Karama operates 100% on solar power, implements advanced water storage and waste management systems, and is built using recycled materials. Supporting the local economy is at the heart of its operations, with farm-to-table dining sourced from local suppliers, ensuring both freshness and a positive community impact.

Beyond this, El Karama is a clear model for sustainable management and responsible tourism – prioritising long-term employment, education, training and livelihood opportunities, and using the lodge as a revenue stream for the conservancy, which is continually reinvested into the landscape for conservation. For every guest, this means the highest quality, low-footprint wildlife experience.

Activities to last a lifetime

With every safari experience, wildlife sightings are a key highlight. Thanks to the options of game drives, night drives, bush walks, wildlife hides for game viewings, horse riding, and heli-safaris, there is no shortage of ways to get up close and personal with the incredible wildlife. The exceptional variety and density of wildlife means regular sightings of leopard, lion, cheetah, buffalo, hippo and elephant, as well as over 432 bird species, and more.

Beyond the wildlife, visits to the local shamba and farm, cooking experiences, school visits, learning about wildlife conservation research, yoga and even spa treatments for those who want the ultimate relaxation, are all available.

Kenya is calling

Guests become family at El Karama, so whether it’s sharing stories under the stars, witnessing breathtaking wildlife moments, or connecting with the people who protect this incredible landscape, you are sure to leave with memories to last a lifetime.
